[royboy]

From ESPN:

Gable Steveson, Olympic wrestling gold medalist, signs multiyear deal with WWE​

Gable Steveson, the heavyweight freestyle wrestler who won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics last month, has signed a multiyear deal with WWE, Steveson told ESPN.

The 21-year-old signed a NIL deal with WWE that will allow him to attend the University of Minnesota for his senior year and defend the Division I national championship at heavyweight. WWE will set up a remote training facility for Steveson near campus where he'll learn the finer points of in-ring work with WWE coaches.

He'll also have access to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, where his brother, Bobby Steveson, currently trains. After Gable Steveson graduates in May, his multiyear talent contract with WWE will begin; he'll be a full-time performer with the company (but also appear on WWE programming during the school year)....

Yep. Pretty much the way I called it.

I'm gonna pretend to be a Gable Steveson insider .

I'm taking partial credit too. I didn't see him doing both at first but the more I thought about it the more it seemed not only possible but probably the best for everyone. Whether Steveson is stretched too thin, as many think will be the case, is on him.

 

[Dogwelder]

I'm taking partial credit too …

I deserve credit, too! I read Johnstown’s idea and was one of the first if not the very first to “Like” it. Me and Johnstown are a great team!

Fair enough. Stand next to me...

Go "toot toot" when I tell you to.

Thatll be us tooting our own horns. Lol

So, who wraps up the NCAA tourney this year. A guy (Spencer) going 4 or will it be the reigning Olympic HWT Gold Medalist? I'm going with Gable unless Lee is wrestling Suriano (PSU) in the finals.

Actually, now that I think about it they will be starting at 133. Finishing up with Gables match then Spencer's to top it all off.

Toot toot mother*****r.... lol

 

[Phantom of the Palestra]

I told you he signed! *Conveniently forgetting everything else I said*

So....that is what they're calling it now? Gotta update the PDIII thread

"...he'll learn the finer points of in-ring work with WWE coaches."

Uh oh.

The NCAA better make sure there are no folding chairs near the edge of the mat.

 

[lookleft goright]

I guess I should toot my own horn also. I had no idea what was happening or what was going to happen and I was smart enough to keep my mouth shut. That is some real progress for me.

Well alrighty then..

Toot toot!

Toot toot!

Beep beep!

 

[danoftw]

Lmao. I swear that was the one I was thinking of too. Was thinking along the lines of his Gold medal. Gable is so good at playing the bad guy. He had NCAA fans hating him everywhere. I really hope they make him a bad guy to at least start out. He won the Gold for himself not this lousy country or it's stupid people. Stuff along those lines. Lol. I never really got into the Pro wrestling stuff but I'm definitely gonna follow to see where it all goes with him.

One more win and the undefeated Gable gets his shot at the WWE belt. Has to put a quick beatdown on some scrub at the Hamburg Field House and on to MSG and his title. He’s in the ring doing the Ali shuffle when his next victim comes to the ring. A bit undersized and wearing a blue and white mask with a toothpick sticking out of the mouth hole he’s telling everyone to calm down. Calm down, I’m the Champ

Imma go with Spencer or possibly Kerk who will shock the world and knock off the future WWE superstar in the semis 😱😳

Semis will be up to Parris after B10 Champ Kerk gets the 1 seed.

I never hated him but at least Cassar showed he could be beat!!But he is a damn good wrestler and I hate guys going to fake wrestling but they make good money

 

[Dogwelder]

… Kerk who will shock the world and knock off the future WWE superstar in the semis 😱😳

Calm down. Calm down. Kerk’s the champ.

“Re-Cassar him again!”

Awesome album! One of my favorites.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Rumor has it Cassar just enrolled in grad school and had requested a 7th....

My take. The Gable of 2019 and the Gable of 2021/22 are two different animals. He breezes through everyone including Parris.

 

[Ski]

Fair enough. Stand next to me...

Pull my finger and I will also give you a toot!

I won’t believe it until Mineo tweets it.

To clarify once more: this doesn’t mean that he is retiring after today’s bout. It means that today’s bout is the last opening dual of his college career.
